i just bought this phone from "cosmote" carrier, i managed to root the phone but i was playing with the system files and managed to get bricked. i just cannot pass the Cosmote logo!
i`ve searched the forum for solutions but nothing works!
Please Help!
Thanks in advance!
First of all, don't go in where you have no idea what happens. Try to find the original Rom of the manufacturer if there is any.
Otherwise, the only viable solution is going back to Cosmote and saying "The phone you sold me won't start, give me a new one"
Edit: You might, but I can't guarantee it follow this line of thought:
1. Search the forums here for a stock rom (branded or unbranded).
2. IF AND ONLY IF it installs and of course de-bricks your phone, you might have a working phone but you can kiss warranty goodbye unless you find the stock Cosmote Branded rom
Second edit: I strongly believe your phone is not bricked (aka paperweight), it merely goes into a bootloop (cosmote logo showing non-stop)
themastreM i have an alcatel ot 908 from cosmote to , is there any tutorial for how to root the phone?
Cause i didn't find any tutorial for this phone.
simply use gingerbreak, this works for alcatel on android 2.2 froyo.
i went to cosmote and they repair my phone lucky me!!
ot 908 root
spune-mi te rog daka ai reusit sa rootezi cosmote move,
da se poate roota cu GingerBreak v1.2, acum am o alta problema, doresc sa il deblochez din reteaua Cosmote si nu reusesc, am pierdut ore intregi pe net, asa am reusit sa il brickuiesc si prima oara, nicaieri in oras nu reusesc dupa ce incercarile mele au dat gres !!
Gingerbreak didn't work.
Gingerbreak didn't work for rooting my Alcatel 908s (on Wind). Nor did z4, SuperOneClick, or EasyRoot. I figured Lookout may be the problem. I turned it off, still nothing happened after letting Gingerbreak run on the "Rooting device, this will take a few minutes" screen for over twenty minutes or so.
Froyo 2.2.2 is on my phone. Also, a lot of bloatware I would love to get rid of!
I successfully rooted a Huawei U8100 with Eclair 2.1 before, via z4.
Help me, please.

If your phone is under warranty, remember to find a way to bring it back to the original state if you have to send it in for repair.
Your warranty will be void because the phone has been modified.
Calypso 4
Hi,
I bought the calipso 4 from spc telecom in Portugal.
I found the box of my calypso and there was a sticker with this: "Wiko Limeted Edition for spc telecom".
I contact wiko international and they said that should contact wiko in portugal... strange.
Wiko in Portugal reply me saying that mobile is a version of the Fever produced for Italian provider! This is impossible, because Fever is from 2016...
I still did not search nothing, I hope this could help all.
Hi All,
I have a problem with a cheap test phone I bought from a Supermarket in Brussels Belgium, as it seems this is owned by Lenovo now.
I originally managed to flash a custom recovery through an adb command and was able to root the stock Android on the phone.
My troubles started when I attempted to find a custom ROM for this phone, as it is a virtually unknown brand, I was unable to find a ROM to start, after that I found an Indonesian ROM, which is quite nice, but is made for dual sim and CDMA functions so I can only boot the phone without a SIM, once a SIM goes in it switches off.
So at this point I tried to put it back to its latest Stock ROM, which is 4.1.2 Android, so I thought I will settle with rooted version of that.
I followed the instructions from the website of this phone, see link below, I applied the file provided in an empty microsd card as instructed push both Volume + & - and the power button and then it would flash the update.
http://www.medion.com/be/fr/service/accueil/_product.php?msn=30015290&gid=11
Once I did the above I got the below message,
Failed to read file /u909c.v1/CONF/u909c.xml, with error no - 1
I tried every trick in the book to go back to Stock and nothing is working, so I started reading about how to make a flash-able ROM or update.zip, unfortunately it seems that even with the tools and the instructions I have through xda I am still unable to achieve a flash-able version of this Stock ROM through my CWM recovery.
Is there any one that can help me create this or maybe create it for me?
The official Stock Rom is in the below folder,
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/am1rr76kv9xfpti/AACN6MuMktO8Hhm4C5F8titia?n=24158169
Or you can download it from,
http://www.medion.com/be/fr/service/accueil/_product.php?msn=30015290&gid=11
I would greatly appreciate any help with this......

salut
est ce que tu pourrais me passer le lien pour télécharger les ROM officiels du smartphone medion P4013 ?
merci d'avance
Reupload
Hi!
You mentioned that you managed to get CWM running, how did you achieve this?
Also, could you please reupload the stock rom, it's literally unfindable on the internet.
Thanks,

Nice, Finally root for my device now I can really remove some of this bloatware. Hopeful that there's a custom recovery next, then roms maybe.
If I have to do a factory reset will it wipe the SD card as well? Hopefully it won't matter as I've seen numerous people go through the process without losing anything. I was just planning on backing up everything to my SD.

Just remove the SD first then you won't have to worry about it erasing it. I don't know though if it was formatted as portable storage though if it will still work. I don't believe it will though.
now where's root for android n?
When you do a factory reset it just erases the internal memory unless you actually specify for it to erase the external sd card. I've done a bunch of factory resets because I've had roms stop working and had to do them.
Does it still work on s7 ative at&t?
I just got an ATT G891A yesterday and its still locked. I have tried about 3 different S7 roms and they wipe out recovery and then it gets stuck in a boot loop. I did find an oem rom that will install and fix recovery too.
I had to Odin one more file and do a little bit of adb but root works.
G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT.tar
Edit: Looks like i wont be able to get ATT to unlock it for a while. He still owes $300+ on the phone. Lol
ONE WORD

EBAY!
Why do you sell a phone that you still owe $300 on? And buy a $800 phone. What ever. He said he will give my money back.
Sorry, I guess I'm out of the G891A. Kind of a bummer. I stripped a ton of it in testing but, Im not good enough to do a full Rom. There was one apk that made it loop for 5 times, then it reinstalled that apk, and then it would boot again. Ill update when i get it back in front of me. I restored it to factory so i can give it back.
I looked in settings and it showed those apps as not installed. I bet I removed 40 apps. It was better. I don't know know enough to change the config files.

Yours is locked? I owe like 600 on mine yet, bought a unlock code thinking it was still locked but it wasn't. I think it was the AV I had installed originally that prevented me from changing before.
can any galaxy s7 be root and have free hotspot as of 2018 looking for new phone but need free hotspot seeing I have unlimited data verison wireless ?
trips knox?
Will this work for ATT s7 Active with Android 7.0?

Yes, please. The recent update makes my phone so slow. I want to flash back to 7.0 or even 6.0 and stay there forever

If I may ask, where did you get Oreo 8.1? My SG-891A is stuck on 8.0. Mobile Hotspot & Tethering won't work because I'm no longer paying AT&T (but rather on Consumer Cellular). 8.1 is supposed to allow a Chromebook to use the phone's mobile data network, so I'm very interested in either getting 8.1 or a working root for 8.0 (which I'm still researching).
Thanks in advance,
Hey guys,
Just want to report that I have luck flashing a k450 with US610 firmware.
Please follow the steps at your own risk. I haven't tested if everything still work correctly.
Steps:
1) Download US610 kdz file (just do a quick google search, you should find it in the top results)
2) Extract the kdz with this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
You should get a dz and dll file
3) Use lg flash tool V1.8.1.1023 to flash using the dz file and dll file extracted in step 2.
After the flashing is done, you would boot into a "minios" and
a) you should see a message "Factory reset status 2".
b) Wait a while until the message updates to "Factory reset status 3"
c) power off using pwr+vol- button.
d) power back on it should boot into android. It takes around 5 minutes for first boot.
Now since it wasn't even checking for k450 model vs us610 model mismatch, I suppose one might be able to obtain root by repacking the dz file with appropriate boot/system/recovery image.
While there's no known way to unlock the bootloader for the snaprdragon variants (K450, US610), the bootloader may not be locked to begin with. Therefore If we can repack dz file and still be able to flash a modified dz file (it should be applicable to all models?) I think we would have a good starting point for custom rom.
Questions that need answered:
1) Does download mode accept a modified dz file? i.e. prehaps the individual partition image is signed with a private key by LG and validated using a public key from the device?
2) Does the bootloader allow booting unsigned image?
Please follow the steps at your own risk. I haven't tested if everything still work correctly.
Played with the phone for around 10 mins, haven't seen anything thats not working yet. Specifically
1) Call works (not sure if this phone supports VOLTE - it drops to 3G/H+ when calling)
2) LTE works on tmobile (unlocked before flashing US610 rom)
3) WIFI works
4) Camera works
5) light sensor works
I've tested this phone with the US610 conversion for over 1 week and i couldn't be happier with it. Less bloat and as i replaced the battery too i feel it going a bit faster. Thanks man!

Amigo a mi se me quedo con el andoid tirado o muerto y la leyenda de no command... pudiste hacer lo del tuto... porque a mi se me quedo como te dije. y no encuentro la manera de ndescargar el firmware de cricket
Hello there. I'm want to keep this sort so here's what I have to say.
I have a thing for unpopular brands, and Evolio is one of them. Some time ago I was looking for an Evolio firmware as a backup in case I brick my play phone while rooting. It went just fine but I managed to brick it afterwards by mistake. I took my time and searched around for a firmware but with no luck. In the end I found out that Evolio M5 is just a rebrand/rename for a phone named Okapia Magic X. I tried one of their firmwares and it worked.
It took me some time to find that damned firmware so I'm going to post it here for anyone owning an Evolio M5, maybe this will help them skip the tedious work of going trough a ton of underground website looking for it.
[Okapia Magic X firmware (Version 4.4.2)]
Works on Evolio M5 but your IMEI might go missing, you can fix that by going into Engineering mode. You can find the IMEI on your device's battery.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1g12NA6sXz7E2FXFdd7RUU-3_I6qwwkTp
[Evolio M5 Update Firmware (Version ?.?.?)]
I managed to run into this on the Evolio Official page. Didn't text it out yet but since it's their official page, I'm expecting it to work.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dir7DKdO1dlLwrpT31KclB1VHfrtMYYf
[Evolio X-Watch M (Version ?.?.?)]
I also didn't get to test this one out, but someone confirmed to me that they were able to recover their smartwatch using this firmware.
